Mom whipped up this wonderful pie on impulse, using an ancient whisk and an old skillet. I am still amazed that it turned out perfect every time. —Ginny Werkmeister, Tilden, Nebraska

Coconut Cream Angel Pie Recipe

Prep: 30 min. Bake: 20 min. + chilling

Yield: 8 Servings

30 20 50

Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups whole milk
3 egg yolks, lightly beaten
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1 tablespoon butter
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 pastry shell (9 inches), baked
MERINGUE:
3 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup flaked coconut

Directions

In a small heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Add milk; stir until smooth. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat to low; cook and stir for 2 minutes longer.
Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount of hot filling into egg yolks; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat; stir in the coconut, butter and vanilla. Pour into prepared shell.
In a small bowl, beat the egg whites, cream of tartar and vanilla on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff peaks form. Spread meringue over hot filling, sealing edges to crust. Sprinkle with coconut.
Bake at 350° for 17-20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator. Yield: 8 servings.

This is a very good recipe. I will definitely be making it again. I don't know what recipe olddutch was reading but there is nothing in here about a skillet. And if you cut the pieces bigger than you will get less than 8 servings. That is not hard to figure out.

The only thing I would do is add a little more coconut.

Coconut cream angel pie is so simple to make and tastes so good, my family and I make it any time we have all the ingredients. It's a keeper and definitely going in my recipe box.

Family was happy with this and it is a keeper and easy to make. I made the filling in the mirco wave and very quick and easy.
